DES MOINES — Scores of volunteers from across the United States descended on icy Iowa ahead of Monday’s Democratic caucus with one goal: nominating a candidate who can defeat Republican President Donald Trump in November. Maryland native Dylan Newberry, 27, moved to Iowa in early January to volunteer for U.S. “I really think we need to win this election.”Newberry is one of thousands volunteering for Buttigieg, who is trailing U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden in most opinion polls and needs a strong showing in Iowa to remain in contention. The Sanders campaign, which has seen a recent surge in support in Iowa, said volunteers from all over the country knocked on 130,000 doors during the last weekend of January alone.
